Was on my way to work this morning and was going threw a green light and a guy on a bike road into the intersection and i hit him pretty good, he went 10 feet in the air before landing on his head with no helmet. He limped out of the road in a lot of pain and over to the sidewalk. He was coming down the wrong way of a one way, let alone it was a red light his direction. I picked up all his stuff that went flying all over the road and his bike that now has an inoperable back rim. I asked him if he wanted an ambulance, he said no, no cops. He was kind of a sketchy younger guy, big heroin and meth problems around here. There was another truck about 100 yards away at another red light but he just drove by us. So I didn't know what to do other than make sure he was OK. I was around the block from work so my boss came over and talked with him also and he just said he was alright but was obvious he was still in a lot of pain. I then asked if he needed a ride anywhere since he didn't want medical, he said a ride home would be good. We then went to a bad part of town and he just had me drop him off at this store where other homeless were gathered. It was more light out at this time so I finally got to look at the damage to my truck and it only looked like my new grill is smashed and license plate bent, I'll look more when I go for lunch. He obv didn't have money to fix my damages so I didn't know what the hell to do. I was actually still more worried about him at this point because he hit his head so hard and was saying he thought toes were broke. So what would you of done here, would you call the police anyway? Or something different?

On a serious note

If you're going to report this do it right away. You need the camera footage from that intersection if you plan to protect yourself at all.

Kill him and burn your truck. No evidence

i would have called 911 no matter what more or less to cover your ass even if they guy didnt want you too. he could come back and say this dude hit me, threatened me and threw me in his car...

I would first delete this thread. Then I would call my local police department to report it.

how do I do that?

Agree ^^^^, you never know when it will come back to bite you. The cyclists around here run red lights on a regular basis, if clear go ahead no matter what color the light is.

Bury the body, burn truck.

Report it. Looks like you're in Oregon based on your plates. I haven't dealt with anything like this up here but when I lived in Texas and a car caused me to wreck on my bike, I went after his ass with a lawyer. Based on your story, it doesn't seem like it's your fault so you may want to be the first one to go to the police.

He's from Medford, OR.

Also, can't tell if OP is serious or trolling.
